Abstract:
Clinical significance and prevalence of gastric carcinoid tumor are considerably rising. This is reflective of both their increased identification, with the widespread availability of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, as well as the development of immunohistochemical study. The improvements in survival rates of gastric carcinoid tumor indicate an ability to develop optimal therapeutic strategies and regimens. Usually, the recommended treatment is surgical or endoscopic excision of the tumor. We experienced a case of intestinal pseudoobstruction combined with gastric carcinoid tumors in a 45 year-old man. He was successfully treated with endoscopic polypectomy.
